Team in Africa
Pastor Toffie & Charlotte Ramdhin
It is with much humility and honor to submit to you a brief history of our ministry journey. In 1985, Christ Alight Ministries was birth in a single garage in Umbango , Port Shepstone. We started with 22 people that met on the first Sunday. Our purpose of ministry was to minister to the alcoholics in our Town. This ministry in the single garage continued for almost 8 years. We then moved to the Marburg library hall that catered for about 100 people. We continued for a further 12 years until we decided to purchase a church property and build the church. However, after much prayer and negotiations, we purchased a property and built the current church. We moved into the building in 2003. The current building can cater for up to 600 people. Praise God in 2014, we paid up the existing bond of R140 000.
In January 2016, Charlotte opened CAMS DAYCARE. She started with 5 children and by the end of 2016, she had 17 children. This ministry grew every year and now she has 42 children at the Umbango branch. In January 2019, she started the second branch at home, that current caters for 18 children. God has been so faithful to us for which we give him all the praise, honor and glory.
I, also since 1985, run my life insurance business as a financial advisor, that has sustained me financially. I am now hoping after 34 years to resign and spend more of my time shepherding the family at Christ alight ministries and helping with Cams Daycare.
Both Charlotte and I are grateful and indebted to brother Mark, who in the past 3 years, has supported Cams Daycare financially. We look forward to continue developing the daycare and ministry for the purpose of adding value for the body of Christ. It has been a very difficult but pleasant journey taking care of people. Through it all God has been faithful. Our motto is to build spiritual families in the church and the daycare.
